no, hillary clinton is really her own thing. her career in public life, in public office is unlike anybody else in american history. she went from being an accomplished lawyer in her early career to being the first lady of arkansas. she then became a very high profile first lady of the united states for her husband's two terms in office. she was the first modern first lady to turn that role into a policy job and the first attempt at health reform. she went on to weather her husband's in-office infidelity scandal and impeachment in office. she became a senator from the state of new york and then of course that historic and very hard fought race for the democratic presidential nomination, concluding with barack obama winning the presidency, and then him nominating hillary clinton to be the highest profile secretary of state that our country probably has ever had. and we have had a lot of very high profile secretaries of state. >> so it's been quite a challenging week saying goodbye to so many people. and knowing that i will not ha

>> i think bill clinton would have said that in 1993. he had a deficit reduction plan that he sent to congress with an effort to give people an idea of what they could expect from this economy. and if he were here, he would complain that not a single republican on either side voted for his plan. so that would have been against the idea of economic security. but at the same time, there may be some republicans, and i hope there sure are not, but some of them may ebb the fact that when there is a recession, it usually isn't named after someone in congress. it's usually named after a president. and i hope that some are not cavalier than idea. that. >> has been alleged off and on over the past few years by democrats talking about republican obstruction in the congress. >> right. >> and they've always resisted it. but that has to loom over this. in terms of strategy, both sides have been talking about, and in some cases complaining about the outside game, whether or not it is appropriate to try to be engaging with the american people through t

they shut down guns for the rest of the clinton presidency, including after columbine. then kentucky, west, virginia, states that clinton had carried before, that really reinforced the '94 percentage for democrats. it's a warning an opportunity, it's the 2014 mid terms. there's probably going to be some sort of legislative action now. i think this is a long-term thing. if can you go into the 2014 mid terms and you have the president engaged, the democrats engaged and for instance, mayor bloomberg, if he throws himself into this financially and politically, if the message that democrats and republicans take out of 2014 is the opposite -- >> don't be on the wrong side of this -- >> right. there's momentum to really do more after 2014. >>s that fascinating. >> it could disproven this year. we'll be right back.

john kerry, of course, will be taking over there from outgoing secretary hillary clinton. john kerry joked today that he had big heels to fill as the new secretary of state. president obama's second major nominee to face a confirmation hearing was another national security pick, the former senator chuck hagel. his confirmation hearings for defense secretary were not a breeze. the vote on his nomination has not yet happened. republicans in the senate are now hinting that they might even filibuster chuck hagel's nomination for defense, which of course sounds normal, because, you know, it seems like republicans filibuster anything now. but in fact that would not be normal that would be unprecedented if they do it. the reason republicans are even considering doing this unprecedented thing is because they cannot block chuck hagel's nomination by normal means. even though the republicans have persuaded lots of the senators on their own side to oppose his nomination, they are a minority. and they have not persuaded any democrats to oppose him at all, at least none that have come
